Trivia Team

Trivia Night at our club. One of our team members has a Volvo 1800 ES wagon - the same type I checked out for a Texas bidder at the Greenwich Concourse auction last June. Our team was tied for first place going into the last question - like Final Jeopardy. You can go for up to 20 points, but whatever you choose is subtracted from your score if you are wrong. We blew it and lost $444.00 first prize money and finished out of the 2nd & 4rd place $$ also. Here's the question: From north to south latitude, put the following cities in order: Pittsburgh, Denver, New York City and Salt Lake City. No peeking or Googling allowed.

Denver is on I-70, which runs very nearly along a line of latitude and south of all the others, so it's farthest south. New York is farthest north. Without looking, I'm not sure whether Pittsburgh is north of SLC, but I kind of think so.

I think it would be Salt Lake City, then probably NYC, but maybe Pittsburg, then Denver.

I would bet Salt Lake, Pittsburgh, New York then Denver?

New York, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City and Denver. The first 3 are very close - all in the 40 degree range. Denver is about the same latitude as Virginia. That's the way the final Trivia questions work. One, maybe 2 easier choices and 2 hard ones. You have to guess.

Be ready for next week's finals... substitute altitude for latitude, in descending order for the same four cities. :wink:

Trinidad!

I'm thinking this one will be Denver, SLC, Pittsburgh, NYC.

Well, I have some of it figured out, San Juan is below to the Southeast and Anchorage is above to the Northwest, their somewhere in between! Guaranteed! :highly_amused:
